Happy Holidays (WPlus9)
As a sentiment, I stamped "Happy holidays" - again with Archival Jet Black ink. I think this ink gives a really nice, crisp impression. Much better than Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
To finish off the card, I adhered the watercolor panel on red foil cardstock and to a white cardbase.

Star Background (Create A Smile) [VIDEO]
Today is time for another video tutorial. This time I show you how to make a distress background using a stencil. This is a stencil that was included in the goodie bag I received from Create A Smile and it is actually my first stencil (that I didn't do myself with my cutting machine). The quality is awesome and it was fun to use it for the distress background.
If you want to find out how I made this card, you can find a video tutorial below the pictures. All used supplies are also linked below.

Simply Create Too Challenge Blog - Autumn Splendor
I was chosen to be on the Design Team for the Simply Create Too Challenge Blog and I am super happy and honored. This card is the first card that I designed as a member of the team and the challenge goes under the theme "Autumn Splendor".
For my card, I used a stamp set by Some Odd Girl that I have for a long time now but never used it. I finally had the chance since it was just perfect for this challenge. I created a shakercard with all the cute little leave stamps included in the set.
First
of all, I stamped the larger image with Archival Jet Black Ink on some
watercolor cardstock and colored it in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush
pens (face: 71, 64, 28; girl - hair: 65, 62; eyes: 44; pullover: 44, 4; mitten: 20, 24; boy - hair: 64, 66; eyes: 32, hat: 44, 4; pullover: 31, 32; leaves: mixture of Scattered Straw, Mustard Seed, Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmelade, Fired Brick, Ages Mahogany and Zig
23, 29, 30). Also, I stamped some extra leaves using Hero Arts Shadow
Ink (Butter Bar, Soft Cantaloupe) and Memento Ink (Lady Bug, Cottage
Ivy). I cut out everything using my cutting machine and also cut a
larger circle out of white cardstock serving as my front panel.
The
background of the shaker card was created with Distress Inks (Squeezed
Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmelade, Fired Brick) which I blended
thoroughly.
I didn't have a sentiment large enough to include on the card. For that reason, I cut out the sentiment "I fall for you. Everyday." out of black cardstock using my cutting machine again, cut a fish tail at the left side and adhered white cardstock behind it.
To put everything together, I used fun foam to create the necessary distance for the shaker material (the stamped leaves and marigold sequins) and adhered the distress background accordingly. Finally, I adhered the image and the banner on the front panel.

Happy Birthday Card (Create A Smile)
A few days ago the new stamp sets by Create A Smile arrived at my door and I really wanted to show you this card that I made wit hthe set "Time to say thanks" and an older set called "Magic Flowers". I stamped the flowers and leaves with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers (flower: blender, FS6, BP7 + CT1, CT3; three leaves: combination of CT3, CG3, CG2, DG2, LG5, JG1; leave that looks like a fan: CG2, CG2, DG4; long leave: LG5, JG1, JG2, JG6). I used post-it notes to create mask so I could layer the images. I pressed my VersaMark Inkpad on some white scrap paper and embossed a strip with gold embossing powder by wow that I wanted to use with the leaves and flowers.
On my white cardbase, I stamped the sentiment "Happy Birthday" using a set by WPlus9 and Altanew, again, with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. To finish off the card, I then cut the paper that I stamped my images on at a slight angle and adhered it with fun foam at the top of the card base including the golden strip that I created earlier.
This card participates in the following challenges
